I shall endeavour to put up Mum's decorataion in early December. Normally, she would do so about two weeks before Xmas as it takes her a while... since she was about 80 years old. She does like Xmas as she remembers the hard times and that Xmas was a celebration of FAMILY.

Me... I don't. I have no children and for me, Xmas is all about kids and family. I truly hate the gift giving between adults. I feel affonted by that bullshit. Towels? Sweaters? WTF is that? This year, I am giving them what they gave me last year. I don't need more bullshit and I intend to show it. I need family and if I give them back what they gave me last year, they might "get it"?
